How to sign up for xneelo Cloud

Xneelo Cloud provides Infrastructure-as-a-Service with various compute, network, and storage offerings. You can create resources on demand, and configure them as you need.

When you sign up for xneelo Cloud you will first need to create a new account in the xneelo Control panel – named an x-Account. 

This new account provides enhanced billing functionality and is optimised for cloud usage-based billing. See more on the different customer accounts.

Once your account has been created, and you’ve added valid payment details, you can then create your first cloud project.

Steps

  • 1
    Log in to your xneelo Control Panel.  
  • 2
    Select the Try xneelo Cloud option in the left-hand menu.
    1. 3
      The ‘Welcome to xneelo Cloud’  dialog will display. Click on Get Started to continue.
      1. 4
        You will be directed to create your new account. Read through the information about the new x-Account and click on Continue to create account.
        1. 5
          On the My new account details page, fill in the required fields and select Create my account.
          1. 6
            Check your account details and click Continue to proceed.
            1. 7
              You will then be directed to add your Payment details. Fill in your card details and click on Add Card. The 3D secure process will then initiate.
              1. 8
                Note: To verify your payment details, we will charge a reversible R1.00 fee (immediately reversed once details have been confirmed). Please look out for an SMS confirming this.
              2. 9
                If your card was successfully added, the Payment details verified screen will display. Click Continue to proceed.
              3. 10
                The Create a project page will display.
                • In the Project name field, provide a descriptive name for your project.
                • Ensure you have read the Terms of Service, then click the checkbox.
                • Click the Create project to continue.
                1. 11
                  The Project created screen will display to confirm successful project creation.
                2. 12
                  Click Launch dashboard to open your xneelo Cloud dashboard in a new tab.
